2 Kingi 5

1 Na, ko Naamana, ko te rangatira ope a te kingi o Hiria, he tangata nui i te aroaro o tona ariki, e whakanuia ana hoki, no te mea i waiho ia e Ihowa hei kaihomai i te wikitoria ki a Hiria: he tangata marohirohi ano ia, he toa, otiia he repera.

Naaman, general of the army of the king of Syria, was a great man with his master, and honourable: for by him the Lord gave deliverance to Syria: and he was a valiant man and rich, but a leper.

2 Na i haere atu nga torohe a nga Hiriani, a riro parau ana mai i a ratou tetahi kotiro iti i te whenua o Iharaira; na ka waiho ia hei mahi ki te wahine a Naamana.

Now there had gone out robbers from Syria, and had led away captive out of the land of Israel a little maid, and she waited upon Naaman’s wife.

3 Na ka mea tera ki tona rangatira, Aue! me i tata toku ariki ki te poropiti i Hamaria ra! katahi ano he kaiwhakaora mo tona repera.

And she said to her mistress: I wish my master had been with the prophet, that is in Samaria: he would certainly have healed him of the leprosy which he hath.

4 Na kua haere tetahi, kua korero ki tona ariki, kua mea, Anei nga korero a te kotiro o te whenua o Iharaira.

Then Naaman went in to his lord, and told him, saying: Thus and thus said tile girl from the land of Israel.

5 Na ka mea te kingi o Hiria, Haere mai, haere, me tuku pukapuka ahau ki te kingi o Iharaira. Na haere ana ia, maua ana hoki i tona ringa tekau nga taranata hiriwa, e ono mano nga hekere koura, tekau nga whakarua kakahu.

And the king of Syria sad to him: Go, and I will send a letter to the king of Israel. And he departed, and took with him ten talents of silver, and six thousand pieces of gold, and tell changes of raiment,

6 Na kawea ana e ia te pukapuka ki te kingi o Iharaira; ko te korero tenei, Ka tae atu tenei pukapuka ki a koe, na, kua unga atu e ahau taku tangata a Naamana ki a koe, kia whakaorangia e koe tona repera.

And brought the letter to the king of Israel, in these words: When thou shalt receive this letter, know that I have sent to thee Naaman my servant, that thou mayest heal him of his leprosy.

7 A, i te korerotanga a te kingi o Iharaira i te pukapuka, ka haea e ia ona kakahu, ka mea, He atua ianei ahau hei whakamate, hei whakaora, i tono mai ai tenei tangata ki ahau kia whakaorangia te repera o te tangata? Na kia mohio koutou, kia kite, e rapu ana ia he take riri ki ahau.

And when the king of Israel had read the letter, he rent his garments, and said: Am I God, to be able to kill and give life, that this man hath sent to me, to heal a man of his leprosy? mark, and see how he seeketh occasions against me.

8 A, no te rongonga o Eriha tangata a te Atua kua haea e te kingi o Iharaira ona kakahu, na ka unga tangata ia ki te kingi hei mea, He aha i haea ai e koe ou kakahu? me haere mai ia ki ahau inaianei, a ka mohio ia he poropiti tenei kei a Iharaira.

And when Eliseus the man of God had heard this, to wit, that the king of Israel had rent his garments, he sent to him, saying: Why hast thou rent thy garments? let him come to me, and let him know that there is a prophet in Israel.

9 Heoi haere ana mai a Naamana, me ana hoiho, me ana hariata, a tu ana i te tatau o te whare o Eriha.

So Naaman came with Iris horses and chariots, and stood at the door of the house of Eliseus:

10 Na ka unga he tangata e Eriha ki a ia hei mea, Haere, kia whitu nga horoinga ki Horano, a ka hoki ou kikokiko ki a koe, ka ma koe.

And Eliseus sent a messenger to him, saying: Go, and wash seven times in the Jordan, and thy flesh shall recover health, and thee shalt be clean.

11 Otira ka riri a Naamana, ka haere, ka mea, Nana, i mahara ahau, Tera ia e puta mai ki ahau, e tu, e karanga ki te ingoa o Ihowa, o tona Atua, ka whakahaere hoki i tona ringa ki runga ki te wahi, a ka whakaorangia te repera.

Naaman was angry and went away, saying: I thought he would hare come out to me, and standing would hare invoked the name of the Lord his God, and touched with his hand the place of the leprosy, and healed me.

12 Ehara ianei a Apana, a Parapara, nga awa o Ramahiku, i te pai atu i nga wai katoa o Iharaira? kaua ianei ahau e horoi ki era, kia ma ai ahau? Heoi tahuri ana ia, a haere riri ana.

Are not the Abana, and the Pharphar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel, that I may wash in them, and be made clean? So as he turned, and was going away with indignation,

13 Na ka whakatata mai ana tangata, ka korero ki a ia, ka mea, E toku papa, mehemea te poropiti i whai kupu ki a koe kia meatia tetahi mea nui, e kore ianei e meatia e koe? Na tera noa ake ranei i a ia ka ki mai ki a koe, Horoi, kia ma ai?

His servants came to him, and said to him: Father, if the prophet had bid thee do some great thing, surely thou shouldst have done it: how much rather what he now hath said to thee: Wash, and thou shalt he clean?

14 Katahi ia ka haere ki raro, a ka rukuruku i a ia, e whitu nga rukuhanga ki Horano, pera me ta te tangata a te Atua i korero ai; a hoki ana ona kikokiko, ano he kikokiko no te tamaiti nohinohi, a kua ma ia.

Then he went down, and washed in the Jordan seven times: according to the word of the man of God, and his flesh was restored, like the flesh of a little child, and he was made clean.

15 Na hoki ana ia ki te tangata a te Atua, a ia me tana huihui katoa, a ka tae, ka tu i mua i a ia: a ka mea ia, Nana, katahi ahau ka mohio, kahore he Atua i te whenua katoa, kei a Iharaira anake: na, tena, kia tangohia e koe tetahi manaakitanga a tau pononga.

And returning to the man of God with all his train, be came, and stood before him, and said: In truth, I know there is no other God in all the earth, but only in Israel: I beseech thee therefore take a blessing of thy servant.

16 Ano ra ko tera, E ora ana a Ihowa, kei tona aroaro nei ahau e tu ana, e kore e tangohia e ahau. Na tohe ana tera ki a ia kia tangohia; otiia whakakahore tonu ia.

But he answered: As the Lord liveth, before whom I stand, I will receive none. And when he pressed him, he still refused.

17 Ano ra ko Naamana, Ki te kahore, kati me homai ki tau pononga he oneone, kia rite ki te kawenga ma nga muera e rua; e kore hoki tau pononga e mea i te tahunga tinana, i te patunga tapu ranei a mui ake ma teahi atau ke, engari ma Ihowa.

And Naaman said: As thou wilt: but I beseech thee, grant to me thy servant, to take from hence two mules’ burden of earth: for thy servant will not henceforth offer holocaust, or victim, to other gods, but to the Lord.

18 Ma Ihowa e whakarere noa te hara o tau pononga i tenei mea; ara ina haere toku ariki ki te whare o Rimono ki te koropiko i reira, a ka whirinaki mai ia ki toku ringa, a ka koropiko ahau i roto i te whare o Rimono: ka koropiko ahau i roto i te wh are o Rimono, me whakarere noa iho e Ihowa te hara o tenei mea a tau pononga

But there is only this, for which thou shalt entreat the Lord for thy servant, when my master goeth into the temple of Remmon, to worship: and he leaneth upon my hand, if I bow down in the temple of Remmon, when he boweth down in the same place, that the Lord pardon me thy servant for this thing.

19 Ano ra ko tera ki a ia, Haere marie. Na mawehe atu ana ia i a ia he wahi iti nei.

And he said to him: Go in peace. So he departed from him in the springtime of the earth.

20 Otira ka mea a Kehati, te kaimahi a Eriha tangata a te Atua, Na, kua ata hanga toku ariki ki tenei Naamana Hiriani, kihai nei i tango i tona ringa i nga mea i mauria mai nei e ia: e ora ana a Ihowa, ka oma ahau i muri i a ia, a ka tango i tetahi mea i a ia.

But Giezi the servant of the man of God said: My master hath spared Naaman this Syrian, in not receiving of him that which he brought: as the Lord liveth, I will run after him, and take some thing of him:

21 Heoi whai ana a Kehati i a Naamana. A, no te kitenga o Naamana i tetahi e whai ana i muri i a ia, ka marere iho ia i te hariata ki te whakatau i a ia, ka mea, He pai ranei.

And Giezi followed after Naaman: and when he saw him running after him, he leapt down from his chariot to meet him, and said: Is all well?

22 Ano ra ko tera, He pai. Na toku ariki ahau i unga mai hei mea, Na, tenei etahi taitamariki tokorua kua tae mai ki ahau inaianei no te whenua pukepuke o Eparaima, no nga tama a nga poropiti; hoatu koa ma raua tetahi taranata hiriwa, kia rua hoki nga whakarua kakahu.

And he said: Well: my master hath sent me to thee, saying: Just now there are come to me from mount Ephraim, two young men of the sons of the prophets: give them a talent of silver, and two changes of garments.

23 Na ka mea a Naamana, Whakaae mai, ka tango kia rua taranata. Na tohea ana ia e ia, a takaia ana e ia nga taranata hiriwa e rua ki nga peke e rua, me nga whakarua kakahu e rua, a whakawaha ana ki ana tangata tokorua; a na raua i mau ki tona aroar o.

And Naaman said: It is better that thou take two talents. And he forced him, and bound two talents of silver in two bags, and two changes of garments, and laid them upon two of his servants, and they carried them before him.

24 A, no tona taenga ki te puke, ka tangohia mai e ia i o raua ringa, a whakatakotoria ana ki te whare. Na tukua atu ana e ia aua tangata, a haere ana raua.

And when he was come, and now it was the evening, he took them from their hands, and laid them up in the house, and sent the men away, and they departed.

25 Otiia haere ana ia ki roto, a tu ana i te aroaro o tona ariki. Na ka mea a Eriha ki a ia, I haere mai koe i hea, e Kehati? Ano ra ko ia, Kahore noa iho tau pononga i te haere.

But he went in, and stood before his master. And Eliseus said: Whence comest thou, Giezi? He answered: Thy servant went no whither.

26 Na ka mea ia ki a ia, Kihai ianei toku ngakau i haere tahi me koe, i te tahuritanga mai o taua tangata i runga i tona hariata ki te whakatau i a koe? He wa ianei tenei mo te tango moni, mo te tango kakahu, mara oriwa, mara waina, hipi, kau, pono nga tane, pononga wahine ranei?

But he said: Was not my heart present, when the man turned back from his chariot to meet thee? So now thou hast received money, and received garments, to buy oliveyards, and vineyards, and sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and maidservants.

27 Na reira ka piri ki a koe te repera o Naamana, ki tou uri hoki, a ake ake. Na haere atu ana ia i tona aroaro, he repera, ma tonu me te hukarere.

But the leprosy of Naaman shall also stick to thee, and to thy seed for ever. And he went out from him a leper as white as snow.
